Abstract:
A latch attachment for an electromagnetically operated switching device such as a relay or a contactor. The attachment includes an adjustment means which will automatically cause a latching surface on a plunger to be engaged by a latching surface on a latch lever when the contacts of the relay are moved to their operated position by a manual force applied on the plunger.
Abstract:
A permanent magnet latch attachment which magnetically latches an electromagnetically driven contact carrier of an electromagnetically operated switch device in an operating position against the force of a biasing spring which, when the latch attachment is rendered inoperative by energization of a release coil, returns the carrier to starting position. A connecting pin is rotatable about an axis eccentric to its own axis adjusts the flux gap of the latch. The latch attachment and release coil are mounted between the rear of the relay base and a mounting panel for the relay.
